Just ignore it :-) Or choose "always" if available. My interpretation: some laptops have a button to enable/disable the wifi. When you enable it would be considered "cable connect". Although with WiFi I would prefer Network Manager: it is far easier if you ever move your laptop.
The "Authentication Mode" offers these 5 options:
No Encryption WEP - Open WEP - Shared Key WPA-EAP ("enterprise") WPA-PSK ("home")
The later.
On my router (192.168.2.1) there are these "Encryption type":
Unencrypted (not recommended) WPA2 (very secure) WPA / WPA2 (secure) WPA (secure)
The second one one. Alternatively, the third one.
For avoiding problems with the correspondence of these methods, I have selected "No Encryption" on my computer and "Unencrypted (not recommended)" on my router.
No, change that immediately. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, no neighbour in half a mile. Even then, I would not use it.

I did not check it when I bought the laptop because I could not imagine that such a basic thing was lacking. It's like buying an automobile and noticing only at home that it has no engine. If had seen it before, I would have chosen another model. But when, even with your help, I don't succeed to connect it to the internet, I will bring it back to the store on Monday.

Here's what I have done in the past - I've actually brought a bootable USB stick with a live distro on it to the store to test the laptop I was interested in. If the store staff refuses, take your usb stick and your money elsewhere.

I did that with a DVD when I bought my ThinkPad. I didn't bother asking anyone's permission.

I was nearly bitten by that problem, no Ethernet, but I realized before committing the purchase. I have seen, in this list or other places, people having a laptop with no Ethernet, no wifi for some reason (no support, or support broken two year later), so I made the mental note to never buy a laptop with no Ethernet, even if it is not for me.
Starting automatically on cable connection ...

My laptop does not have such a button.
But the software doesn't know :-D

This is not like a car with no engine. It is a car with an engine that has a "bug" in it, as even the newest sometimes do. The driver was installed on your machine, but the specific version you have has a problem. That is why Stefan - your car mechanic, in this case - is pointing you to a version which he has fixed (patched). Just a suggestion: Before buying a new (/especially/, new) machine that you want to put Linux on, it is IMHO important to get all the hardware/software specifications first and then verify that that particular machine works ok with the distro you want to install or at least a version that is similar/current (i.e., if it works with one current major distro, most of the time it can be made to work with other distros). With this HP machine, you were just bitten by some bad luck - now you have a workaround and you know it is supported (btw, googling "opensuse 15.3 RTL8821CE", the 2nd hit took me to Stefan's patch; I got the specs from the HP site). With the Acer, a look at all the specs revealed that the Endless OS version of linux was on that machine, which would have saved a lot of time trying to figure out what was booting (and also confirmed that the SSD was OK). Researching a machine first pays off in lots of ways. --dg

I have build kmps to install with zypper or rpm.......
Yes, of course :-)
This Wlan Chip is working out of the box with kernel 5.11 or 5.12. So no need to replace. Also USB to Ethernet is also an option..... Stephan

O.k.

How does that work? Anyway, my new HP 15s-eq2147 has these connectors: - 2 USB (normal size) - 1 USB type C (Mini USB) - 1 HDMI One of the normal USB slots is used for a wireless mouse connector, the other is free, but sporadically needed for a stick. So USB to Ethernet is a little bit difficult. Maybe I find a wireless mouse connector in USB type C format. Best regards, Wolfgang

You may be able to use a wireless mouse without any dongle, just using the existing bluetooth wireless of the laptop (modern laptops also have BT). I have not tried this in Linux, but in Android. In Linux "should" work. Otherwise, you will need an USB multiplier box. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.1 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))

I understand that. However, an "adapter" was not mentioned explicitly. Given the bumps so far, that may need to be made clear. :) --dg

I fear I won't connect anything. As long as my video hardware problem that prevents me from starting KDE cannot be solved, I will have to bring back my new HP laptop to the store, tomorrow. Anyway, thank you! Bye, Wolfgang

Yes, as I said, I understand that. I can see from my wording that it might be read to mean a usb, but I that was not my intent. Given the terminology confusion, I only meant to clarify that the "usb to ethernet" is called an /adapter/ (whereas a multiplier is usually called a hub). :) --dg

there are usb to ethernet hardware, and all the one I got a hand on works with linux out of the box. there are also lot of 7 slots usb3 devices like the one I have just in face of me now :-) and there are even more usb-c devices with all this in one box, including video extensions and ethernet :-) jdd -- http://dodin.org

When I had a computer at work, without an Ethernet adapter, it was connected to a USB hub, which everything else, including video, plugged into.

Reboot.
Dear Stephan, Your rpm is actually great. I followed your instructions, and now my laptop connects to the internet without problems and even much faster than I had expected it from a wireless connection. Thank you very much, but I can express my gratitude better in German: Allerherzlichsten Dank. Einen so eklatanten Erfolg habe ich selten verzeichnen können. Nevertheless Carlos would bring the Laptop back to the store because an ethernet cable connection is safer. That is correct, but on the other hand, I have already invested so much work, which then would be lost. Today is Sunday, so I may think about it some more hours. Cordial greetings, Wolfgang
On July 10th 2021, I purchased an HP 15s-eq2147 FHD RYZ5-5 16GB 512 SSD DOS Since it has no cable connection to the internet, but only access via WLAN, I had at first some problems with setting up the connection, but eventually solved them thanks to Stephan Hemeier's useful rpm rtw88-kmp-default-git20210702_k5.3.18_57-lp153.2.2.x86_64.rpm But for about four weeks, the computer happened sometimes to disconnnect from WiFi. Then normally a reboot solved the problem. But since January 20th, the computer boots always disconnected and rebooting it does not help. So, I opened Yast, deleted the Wifi adapter an rebooted the computer. Then I set up the Wifi adapter again, but I got this error message: ********************************************************************** Internal error. Please report a bug report with logs.
